vm_spork. Really.
Secondly, Good lord. I ventured into the Alexandre Dumas section of ff.net and am now scarred forever. They are so bad I can't even summarize.
Choice examples of summaries:
A story we wrote with a friend. Mostly Alexandre Dumas (Three Musketeers), also Bulgakov, Gerald Durell, P.G.Wodehouse, Èapek, Conan Doyle, The Beatles and Queen. If you find anyone else, let us know! About what a kingdom cancan't survive, very dramatic.
Not only does the author know about Bulgakov, she obviously knows words I don't. What is "cancan't?"
The Count of Monte Cristo suffers from Godly Angst.
Is it better than Studly Angst?
This is not true so don't use this info in your report or something! Reviw please!
Do I really need add anything?
Um… just something I typed up in 10 minutes due to lack of Monte Cristo fics, so don't expect perfect spellinggrammar. Dantes's collective thoughts from the moment he enters prison to the moment 14 years later. Fin (one-shot).
Don't expect me to read it, either.
See the title. I love making fun of stuff. I don't know why... It's just fun! Plus it makes people happy! So enjoy! Oh, and by the way, yes, I am crazy, and I am addicted to jellybeans and anything that contains sugar.
Is there any chance the jellybeans migrated to where your brain is?
When a young woman overhears Cardinal Richeleau's plans to take over the throne, she must turn to the only people who could help, before she is killed.
One could only wish they'd be too late.
A song fic using a song from the TransSiberian Orchestra's Beethoven's Last Night Soundtrack. Not good at summaries, but did my best.
And this tells me...nothing. Well done.
What happens when a young woman's youth is ripped from her? Will she go on without feeling, or will she learn to live again? Rating might go up, please R&R.
See above. Now with 90% more melodrama. I know the French are fond of cheese but I don't think that's what they mean.
Again, this is the same story as before but in English, as I was asked to do. Hope you enjoy it and send me some reviews telling me how could I continue.
How could you indeed?
This story is mostly based in two of the characters of this film, D'Artagnan and the Queen Mother Anne, although along the story they will all appeared. It's just an alternative way to end the film, what would have happened if D'Artagnan had been told abo
*tears hair out* Whoever came out with the movie should be shot. But not whoever came up with word limit for summaries.
D'Artagnan is told some sad news, by his sister. Deirdre, his sister, stays in the Academy, and some interesting things happen. (PAX Young Blades) Title may change.
And TV Execs should join those movie producers. Perhaps they should be forced to only watch their programming until their eyeballs bleed.
Based on Gankutsuou, the anime inspired by the Count of Monte Cristo (even if I like the book MUCH better) FranzAlbert. There will be one chapter for each of the 30 kisses theme so this will be a long run. I offer you the prologue here.
I have no words. But point for knowing the names of secondary characters, which is clearly more than the above authors could do.
Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan, come across a girl dressed as a musketeer, who saves their lives from the Cardinel's men. WHo is she? What is her quest? Why did she risk everything for a group of Musketeer's that she did not even know?
Why doesn't she know how to spell "Cardinal?"
Based on the 1998 movie version of The Man in the Iron Mask Anne tells Aramis, Porthos, Athos, and Philippe about her affair with D'Artagnan.
Mind boggles.
CHAPTERS 7 AND 8 ARE UP! (A little too short of paragraphs, still havent gotten used to it) A girl rides into town, expecting to find her father and also hope to become a musketeer. R & R!
Then she better get a sex change pronto.
poems of life, love, hate, and everyday things we can all relate to.
Indeed.
It is the year of 2002. A girl inherits the treasures of the Count of Monte Cristo. Her family hunts her down and try to kill her for her fortunes. R/R!
They are aided in their quest by Mary Sue hunters everywhere.
Hope you like it! Send Reviews Please
I think this might be a bit too specific for me.
A crazy spanish woman runs into the 3 musketeers with disturbing news, that could be the demis of paris! what will they do?
"Demis of Paris?" Sounds like some kind of trendy boutique.

A note on Gankutsuou, you might actually find an anime you like in that one, as it is an anime take on Count of Monte Cristo and is absolutely gorgeous (it's gotten extremely high marks in the anime world, whether a Dumas lover will enjoy it is another matter).

Date: 2006-01-04 10:48 pm (UTC)If you like The X-Files or Supernatural, I suggest Witch Hunter Robin (which involves the very hot and very icy Amon that I've showed you before).
If you want an angsty space adventure I'd suggest Last Exile. Alex Rowe is a study in angsty alpha maledom.
If you like the Rurouni Kenshin series, I suggest Samurai Deeper Kyo, which is like Kenshin in reverse, as the hateful split personality is generally in charge most of the time. The manga of that one is actually better than the anime. Also if you like an even more serious version of Kenshin, there's Peacemaker, a gorgeous series that looks at that whole conflict and how severe the samurai codes actually were.
If you like horror Hellsing is one of the best anime out there, but completely irreverent and very bloody. Alucard is the only flat out insane character I've ever loved. There's also Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, the anime that got me into anime.
If you want doomed romance I suggest you wait for Basilisk, which is coming out this summer and is the ninja version of Romeo and Juliet.
If you like westerns there's Trigun (which has one of the most heartbreaking scenes in anime).
If you like to think a little, there's Wolf's Rain, which is gorgeous, if a little weird.
If you like a good angsty, action packed and occassionally hilarious anime, I suggest Cowboy Bebop, which is another one of the best anime out there.
What else do you like, because I can come up with the anime, I promise. LOL.

Date: 2006-01-05 01:13 am (UTC)I was able to rent Peacemaker and Last Exile off of Netflix (which has a HUGE anime selection). Basilisk is licensed for American release this summer (it's already had it's Japanese run).

Date: 2006-01-05 01:25 am (UTC)Last Exile will suit you with the doomed, tough, angsty Alex Rowe, pirate captain who lost his first love and everything else he had.
Trigun is actually really funny and starts out that way, but as the series progresses, it starts getting darker and darker as the humor bleeds away with a lot of the characters.
Cowboy Bebop also starts out with a good sense of humor, but Spike is one tortured and angsty dude betrayed by a woman. I also love the baddie, Vicious, who used to be best friends with Spike. You've got to love a guy who takes on guns using a sword.

Also, while you were gone I've been reading Veronica Mars Fic. And it's even LoVe. Ok so I'm mostly reading it because the author wrote me some Prison Break fic, but I still feel all dirty!
So glad that you had a great time during your travels :)

Although, I am prepared to fight for certain uses of 'ronnie' in VM fic. But not because I've thought about doing it or anything like that *cough* *cough*

Or half a bad performance by Orlando Bloom...

Date: 2006-01-05 01:24 pm (UTC)I think I'd chalk that up to typo and give her points for knowing the authors. I wonder if the fic's any good.
Wow, she makes the whole "youth ripped from her" sound like a medical condition! What happens, indeed? I wonder if "youth" is like a kidney, so you can lose one and still have a back up? Or is it something that you have to regrow?
Eh, it seems like a decent enough slash fic...
And what will she do after all the Musketeers have killed themselves from the shame of being rescued by a girl?

Date: 2006-01-05 01:49 pm (UTC)It's the concept of "30 kisses" that just...sticks. I wouldn't care who the couple is and in what fandom, it just sticks.
Or is it something that you have to regrow?
I don't know. The author's common sense seems to have been ripped from her permanently though.
And what will she do after all the Musketeers have killed themselves from the shame of being rescued by a girl?
ROFL.
